3D Specialist

I worked as a 3D specialist across several projects, such as "Púca" directed by Gray Lawless, "Lala Lemur" directed by Kate Hamilton, and "The Edge of Silence" directed by Lili Dora. I developed the background environments in Blender for "Púca", which was used for lighting and perspective references, as well as the background environment for "Lala Lemur", and assisted in the camera placement and texturing on that film as well. I created the model for the main wolf character in "The Edge of Silence", and animated a couple of scenes in the film using said model.

Project Objectives

My main objective was to provide 3D support for the projects that needed it, particularly those that were being developed by a team with little to no 3D experience. I also wanted to improve my 3D workflow, which is why I decided on being generalist rather than limiting myself into one particular aspect like animating or modelling - I wanted to become familiar with a variety of aspects in Blender to get a better understanding on how my future co-workers would be working, and therefor make the passing on of work to different teams smoother.
